Bath Resealing for Humbie homes
We travel to Humbie for bath, shower and sink resealing with new mould-resistant silicone. Nothing is taken out, with a one-year guarantee.
- Mould you cannot clean out
- Gaps by the taps
- Water getting behind the bath or tray
How to care for the repair
Aftercare is simple:
- Let steam out after showers
- Do not stand toiletries on the seal
- Use the extractor fan
- Reseal at the first sign of lifting
Keep the room well ventilated, and wipe the joints after use.
Mouldy sealant is more than a cosmetic problem, it’s a sign moisture is sitting in the joint. Resealing early keeps water out of the walls and floor.
About our bath resealing in Humbie
We reseal baths with them filled with water, so the joint opens fully, so the seal does not tear when the bath is first used. We work on kitchen worktops & sinks, shower trays & enclosures and basins & vanity units, and common reasons people contact us are silicone smeared on tiles and stained silicone.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What bath resealing costs
Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
What happens on the day
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes around two hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.
- We protect the area and mask the joint lines.
- Old sealant and residue are removed.
- The joint is cleaned, treated and dried.
- Fresh silicone is applied in a continuous bead.
- We smooth the bead, remove the tape and leave it to cure.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Landlords, agents and businesses in Humbie
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A professional reseal costs little compared with water damage. It’s quick, tidy and protects your home. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Humbie. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

When to call us in Humbie
Sealant doesn’t last forever. Each shower leaves moisture and soap behind, which mould feeds on, and the joint moves slightly every time the bath is filled.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Black mould in the sealant
- Leaks at the edges
- A messy previous reseal
- Silicone coming away from the tiles
Comparing quotes
- A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
- Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
Repairs by material
Baths

Humbie questions
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Why does mould come back so fast?
Mould needs moisture. Run the fan, dry the joints and the new seal stays cleaner for longer.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across East Lothian.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
What happens after I send photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
How long does a reseal take?
A bath or shower generally takes a couple of hours. It then needs time to cure.
